UPS to use Daimler electric trucks

UPS is to use three medium-duty ‘eCanter’ electric trucks from Daimler Trucks.

The parcel company will be the first commercial business to use the vehicle.

“At UPS, we constantly evaluate and deploy advanced technologies that enable sustainable, innovative solutions for our fleet,” said Carlton Rose, president, global fleet maintenance & engineering, UPS. “Electric trucks make our fleet both cleaner and quieter. We have a long-standing global relationship with Daimler, and we welcome the opportunity to trial the Fuso eCanter as UPS continues to realise the benefits of electric trucks.”
